That's the beauty of the Atlanta deal though. We get a new cheap starting shortstop, and a starting stud catcher for a good pitcher. Two for one. Then we trade AJ, who should bring back a real good bounty. Im thinking he brings back a starting outfielder for next year and maybe a stud minor league reliever or longterm project. I think that since Ichiro is no longer an option, we go this route. Three new starting players covers most problems. I know we love AJ, but man Salty, a shortstop and a young speedy outfielder could make us competitive almost immediately. Sign maybe Rowand or another outfielder, and use one of Sweeney, Fields or Erstad or BA?? for the last outfield spot. Keep Crede around this year if Fields takes left, and trade him at the deadline if he is effective to net some prospects to help 09-10 and we have completely rebuilt on the fly. I hope Kenny can do something of this ilk....
